Modest Proposal

Modest Proposal - Water pollution in Rio de Janeiro

It is reported by The Americas that Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic waterways are still filled with trash and sewage, with time running out before Games. This is so exciting and I knew Brazil would offer us the most special Olympic Games ever! So my proposal is we should keep pouring sewage and throwing household trash into the water to make sure we will have a special waterway for 2016 Olympic Games.

We never had an Olympic Games in a river of trash. In all the past Games, we saw athletes rowing in clear water but I think it is too boring. Water with disposable bottles, plastic bags and even tires will impress us and it will make the aquatics games more challenging and fantastic. You can imagine that all rowing athletes also have to avoid big rubbish while they are rushing to the destination. Besides, we can create more interesting games which we can take good use of the trash river. For example, a game called “The king of collecting dead fish bodies”.

Rio needs something new to welcome people from all over the world when the Games come. People are already tired at the Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer and now an impressive and shocking attraction shows up. It even doesn’t need to wait until Olympic Games and it has already reported in the headlines by a lot of authoritative newspapers in different countries.

Overall, 2016 Olympic Games will be the most wonderful Games ever if we can keep the Olympic waterways filled with trash and sewage. Don’t disappoint us Rio!
